XFCE 4.4 RPM for CentOS 5

[Grant McWilliams]

Thanks Kevin, Keven Erickson and I are working together on this. We haven't
gotten any response from the CentOS folks and without a status report we
have
no other choice but to go it alone since we need it for a project soon. If
we have to
create them ourselves and host them temporarily until the CentOS folks get
them done
then so be it.

Thanks for word back~

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use
Windows."
Now they have two problems.
